I’ve actually been battling my own cynicism lately because I’ve felt it more of a hinderance on my overall quality of life than a benefit, but there’s something about scoring highest in “New Age” that makes me feel like a child fighting imaginary dragons with a short broom handle.
Top 3:
Mainline to Liberal Protestant…click to learn more (score = 100)

Jainism…click to learn more (score = 28)
Jehovah’s Witness…click to learn more (score = 24)
I guess if this Methodist thing doesn’t work out, I’m going to have to start dressing like that guy on the cereal boxes.
Wait a sec, Strain: We’re both Methodists, but my No. 2 is Judaism and yours is Quaker? Sounds like you must have answered some of the questions wrong.
Actually, Jodi, I expected Reform Judaism to be much higher on my list. When I saw that #2 and #3 were both Quaker, I thought, “WTF??” But, keeping an open mind, I clicked “to learn more.” After reading the descriptions, I thought, “WTF??” (Especially Orthodox Quaker. That’s completely contrary to what I answered.) It ain’t me. It ain’t me. I ain’t William Penn’s son, son, son. If I were to guess my top 3 without reading the questions, it would be: 1) Liberal Protestant 2) UU 3) Reform Jew. I’ll keep retaking the test until I get it right.
Well, brethren, I retook the test and noticed that I’m still uncomfortably close to Quaker, although I did notice that UU is #4 for me and Reform Judaism is #5. Conservative Protestant was #10 on my list which supports numerous assertions (mostly in Great Debates) that the difference between conservative and liberal Protestantism is pretty significant.
Top Four:
Neo-Pagan = 100
New Age = 94
U.U. = 82
Liberal Quaker = 80
Bottom Three:
Islam = 11
Roman Catholic = 11
Mainline to Conservative Protestant = 7.
Funny results. I was baptised Catholic and had some early church experience there, followed by a lot of mainline protestantism.
Interestingly, I allegedly have nearly twice the belief in Scientology (65) that I do in Athiest/Agnostic (34). While it’s true I’m not an athiest or agnostic, I despise Co$ and all it stands for.
Reading up more on my top choices, I find things I believe – strongly, actually – in each, but then there are one or two things about their doctrine that just aren’t what I believe.

Very interesting… this explains why when I go to the Protestant church I sit there and question almost everything that they say!!
And to think it is Satan himself who led us here!!!
